Curiosity’s five-year journey across Mars — in one stunning photo
Curiosity takes a literal retrospective.
You look back and it does not seem to have come very far in five years, but it is difficult to judge distance because there aren't many trees.

It's geeky, but I love this stuff.

Amazing to me that we can send a machine a gazillion miles away, land on a moving object and it's still working five years later.

The selfie does not show the robotic camera arm; proof that the Curiosity is actually on earth.

Nice youtube explaining cameras on Curiosity including the method for taking a selfie at the 2:47 mark:

That's bull. You can see the shadow of the cameraman on the soundstage.

Opportunity might be in trouble.
NASA’s Opportunity rover still hasn’t woken up from a Mars dust storm, and engineers are getting nervous

But the biggest question is : Did NASA buy the extended warranty?

For anyone inclined to complain about the weather.
